Thanks Steve for that information.

 

I actually have quite a few of those those Ceramic Sockets in EF Johnson.  I 
was fortunate enough to get a substantial collection of various QRO parts 
directly from the estate of the Amp Man himself Bill Orr W6SAI (rest his soul) 
in Palo Alto.  I always liked the other plastic sockets because of their super 
air flow capabilities around the pins.
